Musical Toys and Instruments for Kids

Toy musical instruments: baby musical toys and kids musical instruments wooden, plastic and metal to encourage different types of play whilst developing many different key skills.

To give kids musical instruments and in turn, the gift of music, isn't only teaching them a performance skill, but in time will give them refined motor skills, confidence, ambition, dedication and if they join a band or orchestra, team working skills. Whether they're plucking the strings of a guitar, shaking a tambourine, or beating a xylophone, kids musical instruments are vital to a child's development.

Starting as babies with very basic percussion instruments a child will learn rhythm and how to match together different sounds. Children then move onto different groups of musical instruments learning to play basic nursery rhymes and their favourite songs. Playing children a wide variety of musical genres widens their tastes, knowledge and gives them a firm base to begin understanding different musical styles.

Children's musical instruments are great educational toys that encourage pretend play and creative play. You will find that whilst teaching musical skills kids learn counting, colours and even social skills as children play together. At Babame, and as parents ourselves, we're passionate about children's health and well being. We feel it's important to fill toy boxes with toys that are of a high quality both educationally and structurally and are entertaining to children across the board of ages and abilities. Whilst we promote eco-friendly wooden products we stock some wonderfully bright environmentally friendly plastic toys as well.

We stock a wonderful range of kids musical instruments wooden, plastic and metal, that are suitable for children of all ages. Beginning as a baby with simple wooden maracas, a tambourine or drum children will find percussion instruments easy to learn to play first. They will love discovering the new sounds they can create as they shake and bang each instrument.

The Just B parum pum set is a great set of baby musical toys. The box itself is a large bass drum that holds musical activity toys are that are just right for baby's first year and beyond.

Children's instruments make brilliant gifts for a baby shower, Christmas or Birthdays and are perfect Christening gifts.
